Black Haw Viburnum Shrub

Black Haw Viburnum Shrub

The Black Haw Viburnum shrub is native to central and eastern North America. It is deciduous, with a multi-stemmed, upright habit; however, it can be grown as a single-trunked small tree. In the spring, this shrub develops ovate leaves with finely serrated edges. Along the main vein of each leaf, the sides bow up, creating a boat-like shape. The scientific name prunifolium pays homage to the fact that the leaves resemble those of the Black Cherry.

I had doubts when I first opened the box. Packaged well. After planting them after two weeks they came to life and are flourishing quite well. They are very healthy and now branching out vividly. Thank you!

Giant Chicory!

I purchased a selection of blue plants. I planted the bare roots in a large planter I call the nursery. I wait until they are adapting to their new environment. When they start growing about three inches, I transplant to a larger pot, then to their permanent location in my garden. One grew to four feet. Others are 1- 2 feet! I can see buds sprouting and can’t wait until they bloom. I did have to cut the 4ft one down to 2 ft so it would get fuller.

My favorite spring flower

My absolute favorite spring flower. I’ve bought several over the years. Sometimes I’ve found they might not come up until the second year but most from this nursery come in the next spring.
